I first heard Vida Jafari’s “Movin’ EP” via Hypedog Hip Hop and I was extremely impressed with what I heard. I decided that once I was done putting up all of my beat based posts I’d get around to posting her EP highlighting her amazing vocals while featuring production from Knxwledge, Dub Easy, THMWY & Emperor Bohe. This is DOPE. Don’t sleep…

The young homie Alage from Boston dropped his “Do Or Die” mixtape recently (find it on Bloggerhouse) and he just appeared on the latest Lyme Lyte DVD as well. Dre Ducati shot me the link & I saw it but 5 minutes later I got hit with some business shit and never posted it on the site. After the homie G. Valentino Ball hit me with the Dutch ReBelle video, I immediately remembered the Alage jawn. Please don’t forget I’m from Boston. NEVER FORGET I’M FROM BOSTON. Don’t sleep on Alage…

Dutch ReBelle is half Haitian & half Dominican and all Bostonian. She reps the crews Famous Nobodies & Black Roses. She ain’t no joke, either. Here’s the video for “Beantown Ish/Ketchup”. The only reason my ares the South End wasn’t used cuz we don’t have a cool ass sign from the city. You just KNOW you’re there.

I’ve been extolling the virtues of Beat Butcha’s production for close to 5 years now. I even spoke to Sean Price about how ill Beat Butcha was when I saw him in Boston a while back. I’ve recently done a post about Beat Butcha’s “Bandcamp Exclusives” release but this particular entry is about his latest instrumental album “Raw & Uncut”. “Raw & Uncut” is comprised of 21 slaps containing nothing but that raw, uncut dope fresh off the assembly line. No additives or preservatives needed. All natural. All real. You can also cop Beat Butcha “Raw & Uncut” from Amazon or iTunes. Don’t sleep!

This is the latest beat tape from King Boom called simply “Beats Is Art”. I really like this one. 17 hard ass beats with little messing around. It’s extremely straight forward. This dude King Boom is out in Little Rock, AK and he’s amassed quite a large catalog on his Bandcamp page. He definitely needs a Soundcloud account, too…
One.
